Searching for Music

You can search for music using keyword search. The keyword search enables you to find the music you want by matching the keyword and returning all matches where the keyword is present in the track name, singer name or album name.

The keyword search also provides auto-complete suggestions for the keyword(s) as you are typing so that you can select one of them if that is the keyword or the keyword phrase you are looking for.

Additionally, Media Drug saves all your searches using the tab system so that you can access your previous searches anytime by clicking on the appropriate tab and access the playlists or create new playlists associated with the search.
